Cassie’s sister Lexi, meanwhile, discards her supporting character energy and channels her newly assigned lead character status in a season-long arc about her putting together a play on her life. Rue’s relapse is perhaps the A-plot, while the Nate-Maddy-Cassie love triangle becomes somewhat tiresome after a while. It’s a drop-dead gorgeous show featuring drop-dead gorgeous people-a stark contrast to the self-destructive behaviour on display. If the first season of Euphoria was like the start of an all-night bender, season two feels like waking up in a ditch somewhere.

After circling each other at the gang’s New Year’s Eve party, long-time enemies Fezco ( Angus Cloud) and Nate ( Jacob Elordi) come to physical. The first episode of Euphoria season 2 is now available to watch and will also air weekly from 10 January on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW. Euphoria ‘s Season 2 premiere ends on a bloody note. We can’t wait to see how the new season unfolds. What has slowly been building in the background of this episode is such palpable tension that this violent end was surprising (especially from fan favourite Fez) but it all clearly culminated in such bloody scenes that you can only look on in – you guessed it – horror.Īll the while, we couldn’t tear our eyes away from what was a classic episode of Euphoria – just the sort of thing we’ve sorely missed during its Covid-induced absence from our screens. Until he glides over to Nate, pours a drink and talks over new year’s resolutions before smashing a bottle over Nate’s head. There are more tense and worrying moments but the sense of engagement and. You’d be forgiven for forgetting that this episode was somewhat dedicated to Fez, so when he takes off his jumper, you don’t really think twice. Season 2 takes off just where S1 left, this season is more emotional and dramatic. Just as we all looked longingly at Fez and Lexi hitting it off in a quiet corner of the party – is it too soon to ship this relationship? – the episode takes an unexpected turn. Production started in February 2020, only to be postponed due to the circumstances involving COVID-19. In a similar fear-inducing way (that we expect of all good horrors), Rue’s close brush with death and Nate’s frankly odd interaction with McKay (Algee Smith) all signalled so much under-the-surface pressure that we almost couldn’t cope. Euphoria Euphoria was renewed for a second season on Jby HBO. Nate continues to look longingly towards the bathroom, but on the other side of the door, Maddie has run out of toilet paper, opts for a hand towel instead and in what can only be described as a moment that warrants an audible gasp – throws it into the bathtub straight onto Cassie’s face. As she sits down, the camera pans to the other side of the small room revealing that Cassie is actually laying down in the shower curtain-covered bathtub, with her hand covering her mouth. As Nate frantically tries to pry open a window, Cassie states “We shouldn’t have done this” and, of course, when things can’t get any worse, Cassie’s bodycon party dress gets all tangled.įast forward to when Nate finally opens the bathroom door and Maddy is too mad to talk, pushing past him to finally go to the toilet. As the episode progresses and Cassie’s younger sister Lexi (Maude Apatow) continues to look for her, you continue to watch but really, your attention is preoccupied with thoughts around Maddy discovering Nate and Cassie together.Īs Maddy tries to turn the door knob, Cassie’s pained expressions are quite hilarious to watch but the background knocking adds so much tension to the scene that you almost can’t think straight. More than two years after the dark drama’s debut on HBO Max, Euphoria has finally given fans something to be euphoric about: a premiere date for Season 2.
